Lifetime Dentistry

I have a genuine fear of dentist. I hate hate hate it!!! I went to these guys and they have changed the way I feel. They make you feel so comfortable it’s actually enjoyable. Yes, enjoyable! If you have a fear five lifetime a chance to change your mind about dentist.

I have neglected going to the dentist over the last few years. Needless to say, my teeth need a lot of work. When I had to have immediate care and the dentist were out of the office, the receptionist gave me places to call. She was extremely nice which does not happen at most places when making appointments. When I did get in to see Dr. Hernandez, he was kind and understanding. Dr. Petal did my root canal due to insurance coverage. He was very nice and funny! Robin assisted him. They made the experience almost fun except for the root canal part! Lol. If you are nervous or embarrassed of your teeth, please give them a chance. I am glad I did.

I a great experience at LIfetime Dentistry. I was in so much pain and asked a friend to help me find a Dentist, so based on her recommendation and reading the reviews on Unilocal I gave them a try. I met with Dr. Patel and he was more than kind and an incredible beside manor! He made sure that I was comfortable before he started and told me step by step what he was doing at all times. I have a very small mouth and other dentists have been frustrated with me, which would make me put off going back, they never made me feel that way. The entire staff went above and beyond my expectations! Great consistent customer service and I hardly knew I went to the dentist. Even my cleaning was pain free! I give them a High 5!

I have been to numerous dental offices in Nashville, and Lifetime Dentistry is by far the best. Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable, and good at what he does. He explained the procedure clearly to me and always made sure I was doing alright. I look forward to having Dr. Patel take care of my teeth for a long time!

This morning I called Dr. Hernandez’s office about a dental emergency and was thankful they were able see me right way. His technological advances and professional skills rate A+++, as does his office staff for courtesy and kindness. Not only did Dr. Hernandez evaluate my predicament quickly and discuss options, he also created and installed a crown within a few hours. I am super impressed with this dental group and recommend them most highly.

I love my new dentist!!! I tried out Dr. Hernandez via a Groupon and I really lucked out. I always check reviews beforehand and these great reviews were spot on! I had a cleaning, cavity filled and filling replaced. I am completely satisfied with all the work done. I would not hesitate recommending this office to anyone, they are awesome!

I was recommended to Dr Hernandez by a good friend of mine! Being fairly new in Town finding a great dentist can take time! I had been for my annual check up and found the staff and general atmosphere so warm and welcoming! I went today to have a crown! Now I dreaded the thought of 2 hrs of pain and discomfort! Wow the experience was totally comfortable very efficient I received excellent treatment I would highly recommend Dr Hernandez and his team to anyone!

Steve is one of the best dentists in Nashville. He has done a lot of work on me over the years, going back to when I was in dental school. He is on the leading edge and has more new technology than any other dentist I know. He has all the 3d scanners and 3d printers, making his work some of the best. His staff is also amazing. Can’t go wrong with lifetime dentistry.

I made an 8am appointment, arrived at 7:45 and was not seen until almost 9 am. After waiting for 30 minutes I asked one of the ladies at the desk what was taking so long and was told it would be just a little bit longer. 15 minutes later I again asked how much longer we would have to wait and was told she didn’t know. When I stated that I needed an estimate as the waiting had become ridiculous I was told my son would be the next patient seen. I again asked how long that would be and received no answer. Finally as I was about to walk out the door he was called back. The hygienist was the only positive part of this experience she was great with my son. When I mentioned the unreasonable wait to the Dr. he said I’ll talk to them. He then said that sometimes long waits happen, and that’s all there is to it. I told him that was unacceptable. He responded with there aren’t that many pediatric dentists, do you still want me to check for cavities. I told him that as long as I had waited I certainly expected him to. The location is quite convenient; however I will happily drive to Nashville to avoid this office. There is no excuse for wasting that much of my time.

A dentist review is a first for me. I had been going to another local dentist and we had terrible experiences with the billing/​account side of the practice, enough that we decided that we needed to make a change. I did my Unilocal research and decided to try this office. I only wished that I had made the change sooner!
First, Dr. Hernandez is fantastic! I have never had a dentist take the time to thoroughly explain the procedure before implementation and then afterwards. The whole time both he and his staff (Robin?) were concerned for my comfort and pain management.
Second, the facilities are top notch. I needed a crown and the crown was made while I was in the office and fitted in the SAME visit. I did not even know they could do this.
Third, the entire staff is friendly and communicative. It is hard to imagine me saying but the visit was actually enjoyable.
Fourth, but just as important to me, Michelle was very thorough and explained the costs associated with the services UP FRONT, clearly. She even gave to me a written statement BEFORE services, something that I did not receive at the previous location until after the fact, and it was always a surprise. Michelle is an absolute delight handling appointments, insurance and billing (they also provide email reminders of appointments). Unfortunately, my insurance did not cover a crown replacement so soon but she filed anyway just in case. Even so, the fee was reasonable and the office offers payment terms.
Our entire family will start going here now. I have my exam and cleaning already scheduled in October. Thanks to the prior reviewers for putting me onto this office!

Wow! I never thought I would write a 5 star review of a dentist but this place deserves it. With our recent move, I am waiting for insurance to kick in. As luck would have it, I noticed a crack in my front tooth and needed to see the dentist. I called Lifetime and the explained the situation. They told me to come in, as they were having a special where I could get x-​rays and a cleaning and get the tooth evaluated, all for $ 49! The staff were amazing! They did a REALLY thorough job of cleaning my teeth and giving me an evaluation what work I needed and that it could all wait until after insurance kicked in a month or so. This was honestly the best trip to the dentist I have ever had. I highly recommend them!

Most people hate the dentist. Having my teeth cleaned or getting a filling is still not my favorite thing to do, but Dr. Hernandez’s office actually make me look forward to going. Every staff member is extremely kind and friendly. I’ve been seeing Dr. Hernandez for a few years now and so does my husband. We trust him and his team to take good care of us. The office has taken very good care of me from cleaning to more serious procedures. I trust them and highly recommend them!

Wow I lucked out when I chose Dr. Hernandez last year during a dental emergency. All that mattered to me was that he was about 5 minutes away down the street from my apartment. He was so kind and helpful that day I knew I had made a good choice. I had been meaning to go back in for a cleaning but didn’t until yesterday and again I was reminded how much I lucked out with Dr Hernandez. The entire staff is so friendly and personable. The hygienist and I even shared a tear talking about the anniversary of the Newtown school shooting. Dr Hernandez is such an open and honest Dr. And was able to explain everything to me. I need to get an implant and he explained to me, complete with visual aides, all my options and steps moving forward. Michelle at the front desk is a sweetheart and she explained my bill and breakdown and charges better than most health care providers do. Keep it up!

When looking for a dentist, I chose Lifetime Dentistry based on Dr. Hernandez’s extensive continuing education past the DDS program, as well as his volunteer work abroad.
I happily return because Dr. Hernandez and his team are knowledgeable, warm, and committed to a positive, professional dental experience. Since moving to Nashville two years ago, I have visited Lifetime Dentistry for routine cleanings and x-​rays, as well as a full Invisalign treatment. I am always pleased with my visits, as I feel comfortable and welcomed.
I vehemently recommend Lifetime Dentistry to all friends in the area looking for quality dental care; they’re simply the best.
